    I have 2 girls (9 & 3)
    I've lost 16 pounds so far on MFP (previously did slimming world and lost 14lbs) and want to loose another 54lbs.
    Long way to go but adding more friends on here has helped to spur me on xx

    Married.

    Have 5 year old and 2.5 year old.

    Really just want to tone up my tummy and muffin tops! Have about another 5lb to lose, though maybe 10lb if I'm being honest.

    Hello all.
    I have three kids, 2, 5 and 7.
    I'm married.
    I've lost 12lbs since the birth of my 3rd. I'm a size 12 but want to be a 8-10 ideally (pre-pre-pre baby size!) 8 might be a bit optimistic but you never know unless you try! lol.

    Hello!
    Married.
    Two girls. 2.5 and 3 months.
    No weight loss. Just started working out and dieting since having baby. It's tricky because I'm nursing. So I'm eating 1700 calories. It feels like so much!!! But after counting calories I see I was eating more than that :/

    Hiya :)
    I have four kids..2 girls aged 8 & 7 and twin boys who are just turning 5.
    I also had a baby for my sil last Oct.
    I nursed my own kids, but obviously not the last one. Am finding it soooo much more difficult to lose the weight. Breast feeding def sucks you in !!
    I have 37lbs to lose to get back to my 'own' weight.
    Doing low carb would love to hear from others who are also doing it :)

    Oh and Im married..not sure why thats important tho as doesnt affect my weight Lol

    Hi!

    **I'm married

    **Two kids (boy 12 and girl 7)

    **I am trying to lose around 25-30 pounds. I lost a bunch of weight last year then gained it all back in about 3 months :neutral_face:

    **I gained 35 pounds with my son back when I was 20 so it wasn't as hard to lose then. With my daughter I gained only 7 because she was hell on my body.

    **Also I've started doing yoga with Adriene on YouTube! She's doing a 30 day challenge for January!

    How many kiddos? I have a son (will be 5 in July) - gained 50 lbs with him - had preeclampsia and lost about 25 of it; and I have a daughter (will be 1 in April) gained 27 and was able to nurse with her, lost all 27 within a month or so. So after both babies, I was still hanging on to about 26 extra pounds from the first pregnancy. :(

    Married? yes - 5 year anniversary is Jan. 23

    How much weight have you lost? 19

    How much do you want to loose? 42 more for a total of 61. This would put me at the weight I was when I met my husband and I felt awesome! It's at the high end of my healthy range, so I may lose a little more. I am more concerned with how I look and feel, rather than the scale!

    Hello! I have 2 kids- a 13 year old and a 4 1/2 month old. I'm married, and I gained 36 lbs during my most recent pregnancy. So far I've lost 44 lbs (I thank breastfeeding for a lot of it) but I feel I was about 10-13 lbs over my ideal weight when I got pregnant. I'm 6 lbs away from my goal weight, but would also just really like to continue to get more toned and feel healthier overall!

    Hello all!!!
    Married for 6 years with 4 children, 3 biological and one step. They are 12 (almost 13!), 6, 4, and 3. Oldest and youngest are boys with 2 girls in the middle. To date I have lost 40 lbs, with another 100 or so to go! Obviously I gained with each pregnancy and while I lost some of the weight I hung on to about 20lbs each time. Then I continued to still eat whatever I wanted, without exercising...and ended up here. Working to break the cycle :smile:

    How many kiddos? 2
    Married? Yup! And he's a hunk! ;D
    How much weight have you lost? Define "lost"... I was 225 with pregnancy #1 and came home after birthing a 9lb baby at 220. O.o I got down to 165, but then went back to my typical weight of 185. After baby #2, I settled around 190 and now I'm in the high 170s.
    How much do you want to loose? ;)30-40 lbs.
